Did nobody take the Winter holidays off? So many new releases! Well, so much the better for us (and for you, the listener). New music from Brazil, from upstart shoegazers Terraplana (pictured above), whose exílio EP is rich and full of youthful charm. Of course we’ve got the new single from Linda Guilala, which we had the honor of premiering two days ago. Of course today sees the release of the new album from Jaguwar, which diverges from previous sonic onslaught, but maintains the charm and creativity of the band. We’ve got the new Ride, as well as Relay Tapes, Honeyhead, Ceremony, Jay Som, Medejin, Plant Cell, Venus in Fuzz, Vyva Melinkolya, and the “grungemo” sonic stomp of Yeah, Cool. And, yes, we just made that term up. Maybe it appears somewhere in the interwebz, but, even so, we’re calling grungemo ours.

And that only adds to last weekend’s new sound, including The Malady of Sevendials, Blushing, Swirlpool, Bloom Waves, dethgaze, Fourth Way, Gliss, The Love Agenda, Knifeplay, Creature in the Spiral, Magic Love, Prince Bunny, Float Down the Liffey, Shoe Shine Six, Twin Oaks, Death Valley Rally, The Voices, Magnet School, Dead Vibrations, Helicon, Black Heart Death Cult and so much more.

And if that’s somehow not enough, you can always go back and listen to our Top Shoegaze and Dream Pop Tracks of 2017. The show itself is four plus hours of sonic delights, thanks to listener votes throughout the year via the DKFM app. If you missed it, well, it’s the best of what we do.

New Tracks Weekend kicks off 8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific, and continuing through Sunday at midnight Eastern, 9 Pacific. It’s the first weekend we’ll spin some of these tracks, and may be the last weekend for some others.

If you’ve spent the last six months sleeping under a rock, there’s a new album from Ride out today. In fact, their first new LP in 21 years. If you don’t think that’s a thing, you may be tuned into the wrong radio station, my friends. Much like when Slowdive released a new album this year, a number of other new releases got overlooked (well, everywhere but here). But, you know us. Our job is to keep you up on all of it. New music from Deafcult, Wozniak, Hatchie, Youth Pool, Rocketship, Pink Frost, Pale Spectres, FOAMMM, Chain of Flowers, Bleach Bath, A Shoreline Dream, The Black Watch, Snowball ii, The Raft, Drift, Radiation Flowers, Rocket Ship TV, Nevermind Me, Amber Arcades, Dead Vibrations, M!R!M, Lake Wash, Glass, Vinyl Williams, Seahorse, Alvvays, Herlights, Alarm Drum… everything that fits, and some wot don’t.

Not to neglect last weekend’s fresh additions, including the sparkly new album from Panda Riot, plus Bellavista, Tearjerker, Fawns of Love, Softer Still, Colour of Spring, Doorbells, Beachglass, Sonic Jesus, Secret Meadow, Palm Haze, Daoda, Giant Surprise. We’ll put it all through the compactor, see just how much we can fit in.

Still recovering from last weekend’s epic Seagaze festival, but we’ve spent most of the week combing through all the impressive new submissions for New Tracks Weekend, and we’re packed. Obviously we’re pushing the new single from Ride, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We’re deep into the new albums from Omega Vague, Todavía, Малыш Камю (Malish Kamu), Subsonic Eye and Afor Gashum, plus the new singles from the Cult of Lip (new album and video soon!), Crystales, Red Rosie, Xeresa, Dama Scout, Softer Still, plus the new split EP from station favorites Kindling and Kestrels (someone got the best “K” bands together and said, “hey, let’s do a split!”?), the new Psychic Quarry EP from SHEER, the new extended play from Sustains, and we catch up with Darkswoon and Malady of Sevendials, fresh from their Seagaze Festival performances.

Speaking of which, we’re still pushing the full LP from Fotoform, who put on a sparkly performance for Seagaze attendees. Plus we’re still heavy-dropping tracks from Bugjar (most buzzed track last weekend, hands down), DIV I DED, Northeastern Railroads, Flowerbomb, LLOLLYANNA, Static Daydream, The Infinite Seas, and The Investment. All of the newness.

Just when we thought it would be a quiet(er) weekend, fewer new materials released… boom. Much new load-in, much new sparkle. We’re (unsurprisingly) heavily featuring Who Cares About Tomorrow, the new full album from Fawns of Love. We had the distinct pleasure of mastering the final product, and it shines like we knew it would. The new single from Ride beats back most new releases. Two new singles from Brisbane’s Babaganouj rock our socks off. No Vacation returns with a new single, and while personnel changes may have dulled the intensity, hasn’t impacted their tunefulness. New music from Daysee will bend your ears and your knees. New single from Slowly sparkles, as does the new album from Moscow’s Life on Venus. No clue how we’d missed new music from The Mites several weeks back, as we’ve been the ones pushing them for years now. Oversight corrected, we’ll remind you why they rock our pasty little souls. Brand new Delay Trees on deck, plus the epic new EP from 93MillionMilesFromTheSun, grabbed as soon as released. The first singles from the new Sleepwalk LP, Shimmer on tap. Bundled in two stellar tracks from The Wrecking Queens that demand your attention. Plus, we reach back generic flagyl 400 into the archive for some classics from Excuses for Skipping, taking a turn in our rotation. Full packed.

Let’s not forget last weekend’s freshness, including Whimsical, No Joy, Funeral Advantage, Kindling, VENN, King Woman, Froth, Novella, Jay Som, Violentene, Hexagrams, Glasz, Galaxina, Starwheel, The Age of Colored Lizards, Folder, and December Flowers. All of the songs, all of the now.

New music from Pure Phase Ensemble 4, featuring Mark Gardener. New tunes from the upcoming Presents for Sally LP, Colours and Changes, due this month on Saint Marie Records.

One of the brightest, most focused sounds of the summer comes from Copenhagen, Denmark. Polished, self-assured and ready to rock, Velvet Mornings has dropped an EP full of earnest shoegaze-tinged tracks that sound like echoes of the past, but perfectly new. Harmony, jangle, reverb, angst all mixed together in a blender, structured in accessible songs that sound good enough for a major label release.

Four tracks added to our New Tracks Weekend rotation on August 9th, initial reaction has been nothing but positive. A great balance of dreamy and dirty, Velvet Mornings produced the “Comfort” EP themselves, and show they’ve got a great mastery of production, talent and songwriting.

Much as Young Minds hints at what Velvet Mornings are capable of, with ringing guitar, plaintive vocal line and big harmony, the track Close says even more about their songwriting ability. Shades of modern alt-rock mixed with Swervedriver and Ride, this journey into angst gets ever more intricate toward the middle, as we follow the guitar into reverb-drenched heaven.

Founded in September 2012, Velvet Mornings “Comfort” EP sounds like folks who’ve spent years refining their soaring sound. Ignore at your peril.

Get Velvet Mornings’ “Comfort EP” at their Bandcamp, follow them on Facebook and YouTube. And, as always, hear tomorrow’s artists today at DKFM.
